大千世界:鴨媽媽帶小鴨子們過馬路

This Mother duck brought traffic to a halt as she set out for a morning swim with her adorable brood in tow.

這隻鴨媽媽帶着一窩小鴨子出門去“晨泳”，一家子過馬路造成交通暫停啦。

Drivers in Macclesfield could only watch and wait as the mallard waddled along Clarke Lane with her flock of 13 fluffy ducklings en route to the nearby Ridgate Reservoir.

麥克萊斯菲爾德的司機們只有耐心等待，看着這羣鴨子沿着克拉克道蹣跚而行，鴨媽媽帶着13只小鴨子要前往附近的Ridgate水庫。

Onlookers said the family of ducks had tried to reach the water over a wall, but took a detour along the road when it proved too high for the tiny ducklings to cross.

有圍觀者表示這羣鴨子本來是打算翻過牆去水邊的，但後來只能沿着公路繞道而行，因爲牆太高了小鴨子們過不去。

'Mother duck could fly over the drystone wall, but the ducklings couldn't make it,' one passerby said.

一位路過的行人說：“鴨媽媽可以飛過那堵牆，但小鴨子們就不行啦。”

'She then walked them 500 yards up the road to a gate in the wall and they all made it back to the water.' The quirky scene was captured on camera close to Macclesfield Forest.

“然後鴨媽媽就帶領着小鴨子們沿着馬路走了500碼的距離，通過牆上的門然後走到了水邊。” 這樣古怪的一幕被麥克萊斯菲爾德森林附近的攝像機捕捉了下來。
